1 Corinthians 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Your Spirit fruits within my soul
Such wondrous blessings, living goals
Of love and joy, peace, gentleness
And even gracious kindliness.
Yet with these blessings you so give
Fruit bearing truths so hard to live.
Of Self-Control, Long-suffering
That on my own I fail to bring
Into the discipline each day;
I need your strength along my way.
Spirit of truth, you know my mind,
Where pain of waiting, my heart binds.
Still now my soul, seed in me peace,
That suffering long will bring, increase
Your deepening beneficial grace
That strengthens, ready to embrace
The opportunities of life,
And in your power, to conquer strife.
“Joy is love exalted; peace is love in response; long-suffering is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love in tough situations; and temperance is love in training.” Dwight L Moody
